TC does work well when road conditions are poor so I always leave mine on.How do I rate the T? Great cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerj Member 52 Member For: 21y 5m Location: Berwick,Melbourne Posted 12/09/05 08:42 PM Share Posted 12/09/05 08:42 PM As a rule I always turn the TC off when I start the car. Except when it is pouring down rain. I've got a standard auto too.Congrats on the purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was trying to race a Statesman around a corner :pat: and if it wasn't for the traction control she would have probally put it in to pole. Myself I turn it off but a few time with the shiftkit turned on and cornering it has caught me off guard, but in a straight line a stock T has little chance of breaking traction.

Can get a bit hairy esp in the wet without it if you have a heavy right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
